D@bbe

d@bbe is a very good low-budget horror thriller in the traditional sense.It is not a ghost story,or revenge story or haunting story.Briefly The story of dabbe is about possession of internet-world.Jinns and madness meet on 'world wide web' for hellish torment. OK, Acting is terrible but no problem because It has shocks and suspense, especially in the second half.And listen; It's better than some of those movies which make up making millions of dollars despite having no affect on the viewer. If you wonder how we make a good and haunted supernatural thrillers without money,without good equipment,without actors this is your type of films, heyy,people if u haven't seen this movie yet, go to your local movie library and rent it!!!(there is English sub problem with first version you have yo find second version-right one!)

I saw this movie a few day ago. It's not originally and unique movie but have a few newness in Turkish Horror cinema. Dabbe is first movie of KIYAMET(Doomsday) trilogy. We wait for "Deccal and Mehdi" and last movie "Isa Mesih". A director used metaphysical and technological elements together in a movie. This is a revolution for Turkish cinema culture. Writer and Director Hasan Karacadag knows Asian, especially Japanese horror movie well. Dabbe remind me Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "Kairo" and Hideo Nakata's "Ringu". He adapted Islamic believes to Asian horror aesthetic and telecommunication technology. Dabbe is a sign of end of world. Movie has inspired by Neml Sura in Koran. Director preferred darkness and and blurred colors. Sciences are not enough for explain some events. As in this movie. Sound effects are very successfully.

I recommend watching!

Actually I was surprised when I read the other comments. Everybody is concerning about bad script, bad actors, disturbing effects etc. But i have found "388@0" successful. It has a script that fits to "Kairo"-"Pulse". But more than that, it has some cultural components as "djins". They are evil spirits that they can not effect human life directly. But Turkish culture has a lot of stories about djin attacks to human life. The name of the film "DaBBE" refers to "dabbet-ul arz" of the Islam. "Dabbet-ul arz" is Arabic and means "the one that walks on earth". It is mentioned in the Qoran (the holy book of Muslims). It will come to earth as one of the last signs of the Armageddon. And it will tell everybody that who will go to heaven or hell. Because of containing cultural scary myths, "DABBE" has a psychological element to scare audience. That is why it is successful. It takes a original script and adapts it to the cultural myths. So you are not scared of audio/visual effects but deep in your brain, the script makes you scared. But, yes actors and actress are so bad. One more thing to mention. The characters have some e-mails or phone calls after the first death. The subject of the e-mails and the phone number of the dialer is shown as "388@0". When you look this in the mirror. You see "0@88E" = "D@BBE"

When I watched 'Dabbe'I was shocking.Because The budget of this film is only 100.000 Dollar.This film is about the doomsday of Islamic belief.This is very hard story for a movie maker,especially in Turkey.Because there is a lot of taboo about Islamic themes.The director of 'Dabbe' ''Hasan Karacadag'' is very courageous and first I want to congratulate him for his courage. The word 'Dabbe' appears in a number of verses of the Qur'an, although Surat an-Naml: 82 is the only one that refers to this particular event that will happen in the final times. When we set out the features of the 'Dabbe' as it appears in this verse, the following picture emerges:

1. The 'Dabbe' is a moving like hair(The cables of internet)

2. The 'Dabbe' is the product of the earth.(silicon-computer)

3. The 'Dabbe'is a thing or creature that speaks and gives a particular message, which is addressed to all of mankind.

4.The mean of 'dabbe'(Sanskritic language):Things,like spider's web

So this movie says:'Dabbe'is internet The edit of 'Dabbe'is so interesting.I could not see ever this paradoxically storytelling in another horror movies.Also 'dabbe' using internet for deep horror impact.I watched 'kairo' and pulse.I liked 'kairo' but pulse is very weak.Ithink The success of Dabbe is secret in this word;''DJinns''.'Dabbe' does'not use Ghost,souls,zombie,vampire etc.It use the scary of Jinns.In the mirror life and in the Shadow life you can feel the power of them.They are Jinns and they want to contact with people.They are using internet and they want to connect with the brain of human.They are copying you and they shown you, just ''other piece of YOU'.What is the other piece of you;If you wonder please watch 'D@bbe' immediately!The doomsday is very near!

I watch screening by chance a few weeks ago to see '''Dabbe''', '''D@bbe''' up here in Tokyo.I could not know about Islamic or Turkish horror movies. I liked it.This film is very good mix of famous Japanese horrors.I was surprised because director of '''Dabbe''', '''Mr.Hasan Karacadag''' is not Japanese.But the style of this film is very near the J-horror techniques.I know its very difficult to make J-horror movie with other Asian countries people and cultures.Because J-horror style is very special.The appeal of the stories is likely to be found in old Japanese culture and historical background unique to Japan.I think the background of Islamic culture and spiritual Japanese stories are using same things.The secret sides of dead and life, with suspecting of religion. '''Dabbe''' , '''D@bbe''' was very enjoyable and attractive for me.In Japanese language we say;'''Tanoshii Eiga!!!
